russett, you are being a little silly here.

{{{ the LD50 data indicates that if we drink two thirds of a beer bottle of DMSO, half of us would die,...if we drink the whole beer bottle of DMSO, only some big guys might survive. }}}
The same can be said of many things.

Take Scotch, for example.
Many people swear by their daily constitutional and live into their 90's, attributing this to that daily shot of whisky. I'm sure many people would OD if they swilled a beer bottle of Scotch!

Take aspirin.
One or two a day is often regarded as a tonic, especially for those with arterial problems.
I don't think anyone on the planet would survive downing half a beer bottle of aspirins.

People wash their hands with soap every day.
I wouldn't want to drink 2/3 off a beer bottle of the stuff.
This example may be a more fitting analogy to DMSO than the above, as I don't believe DMSO is intended to be taken orally, just like Palmolive!
Just what does the LD50 data say, for Palmolive?

Your argument on this point just doesn't hold water, I'm afraid.

Have a good day.
